Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was attacked during a public grievance hearing at her residence in Civil Lines in the national capital. Soon after the incident came to light, several Opposition members came out in support of the Chief Minister and condemned the assault, stating that there is no place for violence in a democracy.

A man, said to be in his 30s, approached the Chief Minister during a ‘Jansunwai’ and attacked her. The Chief Minister’s security personnel immediately caught the attacker, who had disguised himself as a complainant at the public meeting, and he is now being questioned.

Delhi BJP Chief Virendra said, “The police are investigating the identity of the person involved. The Chief Minister’s condition is stable at present. She has certainly experienced some shock, which is causing a bit of concern. I have just met with her. The Chief Minister was not hit with any stone or slapped."

Reacting to the incident, former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi took to X and wrote, “The attack on Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is highly condemnable. In a democracy, there is a place for disagreement and protest, but there is no place for violence. It is hoped that the Delhi Police will take the strictest action against the culprits. It is hoped that the Chief Minister is completely safe."
